#OnThisDay, 1 April 1983, around 200 women dressed as teddy bears or Easter bunnies break into the Greenham Common airbase in the UK to stage a protest picnic against nuclear warfare. Greenham was due to house US nuclear missiles.

A further 40,000 protestors, men and women, form a human chain linking Greenham to #Aldermaston and Burghfield.
